An aerial view of the Oregon Coast, looking north. I was hoping for better weather, but you take what you get.
Any comments appreciated. Cropped to emphasize the waves up the coast.
10mm, 1/60sec @ f/5, ISO 100, Altitude 119 meters.
That looks like proper Oregon Coast weather to me 
It’s a nice documentary representation of the coast, for sure. Not much for me to add 
Nice work, David. It certainly does depict the coast accurately on an overcast day. I’m not sure about the composition though I can’t find a crop that improves it. I’m sure Alex Noriega would come up with some. He was amazing in that regard.
The soft light suits the peaceful composition. I like the wide-angle view with the breakers receding in a gentle curve. The horizon seems to be dropping a bit toward the left, maybe some wide-angle distortion with some optical illusion maybe partially contributing.
Hi David. It’s definitely got a mood to it. I find that I want to see more of the mist and rocks in the background. I cropped it to highlight those features and also give the bring more focus to the breaking waves.
Thanks @Matt_Payne, @Igor_Doncov, @Diane_Miller, and @AndreDonawa for your comments and suggestions.
Diane, I adjusted the horizon a bit. Kinda weird when the drone is supposed to be always horizontal. 
Andre, thanks for your crop suggestion. I thought I liked the wider image, but your crop really works.
Also, I feel this is better in B&W, what do you think?
Yes, I think the B&W conversion was a good call. The space on the left side has more interest for me now with the added contrast bringing out the lines and whites in the water
B&W is better. Have you considered a vertical of the right half?
I know this spot–its on a hill south of Oceanside looking north and is a great vantage point. It was (and still is) always a stop for me on my photo workshops on the Oregon Coast. It’s a bit treacherous,(Please be careful)
but during May-June there are some wildflowers on the hillside below that you can add as a foreground. If you can get back there try it… a foreground really helps! The image I am adding is sort of a post-card( not very creative but I use it in my advertising!) of the spot you were. I hope you can make it back!–JG
Thanks Jack, Good to see you here on NPN.
Cheers,
David
David,
I actually think the weather served you well here, especially given the vantage point.
I think the b&w works very well to highlight the wave patterns, sequence. But certainly your original does too. Touch choice.
Excellent seascape
